I need “/var/www” but Apache2 try to use an empty “/var/www/html”

Question

This days I sleep with my http://localhost working, and reading pages from /var/www...

I woke up with an "AH00094" error at Apache2

Answer 1

If you want to use /www as root folder instead of /www/html you can simply edit the apache2 config file to have /var/www

Edit 000-default.conf

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

then change

DocumentRoot /var/www/html 

to

DocumentRoot /var/www

Restart apache2 server :

sudo service apache2 restart
